Hi Everyone! Purim is just around the corner and that means it is time for the annual CJI Salary Survey. Today's report also has more jobs than the last several reports. First a few announcements. ------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: New Facebook Application: Send Jewish Stickers Hi Everyone! I created a new, free, Facebook application called: Send Jewish Stickers. Within Facebook, you can select from seventy five cool Jewish stickers and send them to your Facebook friends. The stickers cover a wide range of topics from Mazel Tov's to Purim Mishloach Manot. The address is: http://apps.facebook.com/jewish-stickers/ Feedback is welcome. Chodesh Tov, Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Judaism from a Vending Machine Hi Everyone! Last Thursday I was in the Jerusalem central bus station and I noticed an unusual vending machine on the second floor between the middle staircase and the escalotors. The vending machine did not have candy bars or potato chips or soda. The vending machine was offering books to learn Jewish laws and customs. This was the first time I saw this type of vending machine. I happened to have my camera with me so I snapped some pictures and posted them on my website at: http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/things/judaism-from-a-vending-machine.htm Enjoy the pictures. Chodesh Tov, Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Welcome Home to the New Olim from Yemen Hi Everyone! On Thursday, February 19, under the cover of secrecy, a group of ten Jews, nine of them members of the Ben-Yisrael family, left their Arab homeland for Israel. I posted articles and pictures of this historic event at: http://www.jr.co.il/pictures/israel/history/aliyah.htm May the aliyah from all over of the world grow and bring more Jews back to their homeland, Eretz Yisrael. Shabbat Shalom, Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Purim on the J site, 68 Cool Purim Videos, 82 Purim Hotsites Hi Everyone! Purim, the fun-filled Jewish holiday, falls on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Adar. This year Purim begins Monday night March 9, 2009. (In Jerusalem it is celebrated one day later.) The J Site - Jewish Education and Entertainment http://www.j.co.il has several entertaining features for Purim: Purim Trivia Why do people eat poppy seeds on Purim ? From which tribe was Mordecai ? Why was Haman angry at Mordechai ? Who was queen of Persia before Esther ? Esther had another name, what was it ? How many times is Haman's name mentioned in the megillah ? What did the king do when he couldn't sleep ? What does the word "Esther" mean ? How many advisors did king Achashverosh have ? The above questions are examples from the multiple choice Flash quiz. There are two levels of questions, two timer settings. Both kids and adults will find it enjoyable. Purim Clipart Whether you need a picture to attach to your "Mishloach Manot", a picture for your child's class project, a graphic for your synagogue, Hillel or JCC Purim announcement, the Jewish Clipart Database has the pictures for you. You can copy, save and print the graphics in three different sizes. Additional Purim resources and games on the J site include: Purim Word Search Game (English, Hebrew, Russian) My Jewish Coloring Book - Purim Pictures Hebrew Hangman - Purim Hebrew Purim Songs with Vowels (Nikud) The J site has something for everyone, but if that is not enough, there are now 82 Purim links on my holiday hotsites. The sites have everything ranging from laws and customs to games and recipes. Site languages include English, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, French, Portugese and German. All 82 links have been reviewed / checked over the past week. The address is: http://www.jr.co.il/hotsites/j-hdaypu.htm and...... I posted a list of 68 cool Purim videos on YouTube ranging from funny songs, plays, parades and Purim Shpiel. Enjoy the videos at: http://www.jr.co.il/videos/purim-videos.htm Please forward this message to family and friends, so they may benefit from these holiday resources. An early Happy Purim! Jacob ------------------------------------------------------------- Tomorrow I plan to launch the Annual CJI Salary Survey. Like last year, I will be collecting data via an online form but to avoid duplicates and insure validity, you will need to email the answer string to me. Please read the instructions carefully when I send them out. The survey will last 8 days only (not 10). Anyone working (now) in the computer field or electronics field in Israel may fill in the form and take part in the survey. The online form creates a 52 character string which needs to be copied to the subject of a blank email message and sent to me at: jrichman@jr.co.il (Thanks YS for the form programming) Please do not send to the CJI addresses. It gives me more work. Only emails with a valid string in the subject will be processed. If you have questions or comments, please send them in a separate email with the subject: questions /coments about the survey The string you will be sending (via the email subject) is 52 characters. (including the leading "CJISS:") A sample string (fake answers, do not email it!! ): CJISS:TAM1984RU18-29Y04NNY24YYY6-9NN045Y15200S100N45 In the past several people emailed this fake string. PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL THE STRING ABOVE. The survey form web address (to create your string) will be emailed to you tomorrow. Please do not change the string that is created by the online program. Every year dozens of people have sent in an edited version of the string with missing answers. Please do not edit the string. The bad string is rejected and I need to email you for clarifications. Thanks! All information sent to me is confidential. No personal information is given to anyone. People have asked me for raw data in the past but the answer is always no. The original name and address is deleted after the data is extracted. I require the email to avoid duplicate entries and non-Israel entries and to contact you if there are data problems. If you joined the CJI mailing list this year, ask your friends that took the survey last year - all information sent to me is confidential. Please answer all questions honestly so everyone can benefit. Garbage in = Garbage out. Results of the CJI survey will be posted on the CJI site. If all goes well (and B"H) the results should be ready by March 8, 2009 (12 of Adar - my father's Yahrzeit) When the results are posted I will email the announcement to the list. Watch your email inbox. The salary survey message should be in your email box tomorrow (Tuesday). Please take the survey and email the results as soon as possible. Thanks!!! ------------------------------------------------------------- Now that was a long introduction. Time for the jobs.....
